Could prayer bar a woman from prime minister role
The article addresses the possibility of preventing a woman from becoming Prime Minister in Morocco based on a procedural detail related to performing prayers during religious events. This detail is being exploited as a way to obstruct a woman's candidacy for this position. The article emphasizes that the Moroccan constitution guarantees gender equality and sets clear rules that do not discriminate between men and women in the right to hold power, especially in Article 47, which states that the Prime Minister is chosen from the winning party. It highlights that trying to argue that performing prayers disqualifies a woman from holding a political position is a violation of constitutional principles, as such procedural arrangements can be modified without legal or constitutional impediments. The article stresses that the state must distinguish between religious symbolism, which preserves its historical and cultural significance, and democratic legitimacy, which affirms that women and men are equal in political rights. Any practice that leads to the exclusion of women based on religious or procedural grounds is considered a violation of the spirit of the constitution. Finally, it underscores that the key to maintaining balance between religious symbolism and institutional processes is to organize procedural aspects in a way that respects constitutional values. Imposing unconstitutional restrictions that prevent women from participating in leadership undermines principles of equality and democracy and leads to an unconstitutional redistribution of criteria for access to power.
